Chelsea's corner/set piece tactics vs Sheffield United:

Likes and RT's are all appreciated🙏🏼💙 #CFC #COYB #CHESHU
30' Werner's shot hits the crossbar

Positioning:
- Chilwell ➜ Back post
- Werner ➜ Further back behind Chilwell

Chilwell senses Werner is behind him therefore he moves from the back post to the middle, attracting McGodrick to follow him, which creates more spaces for Timo.
34' Chilwell Goal⚽️

Mount took the corner and passed to Ziyech, allowing him to curl the ball with 45 degrees into the box.

Positioning:
- Thiago Silva ➜ Edge of the penalty area to near post
- Chilwell ➜ Back post
- Zouma, Tammy, Kova ➜ Middle

Ziyech got 3 choices.
77' T.Silva Goal⚽️

Positioning:
- Chilwell ➜ Near post
- Werner ➜ Back post
- T.Silva ➜ Edge of the penalty to near post

Zouma stays at his position which partly blocks the defender + Chilwell runs to the near post, while covering for Silva.
As mentioned, Silva runs from the edge of the penalty box the near post everytime, and he managed to grab the chance to find his first chelsea goal.

With tactics as well as Ziyech's pass and Mendy in goal, Chelsea will just get better in both attacking and defending set pieces.
